介绍（中）	从1523年到1527年，文正明在首都担任官员，他的才能和他的耐心受到大量文学作品和书法要求的考验。这首诗是为庆祝嘉庆皇帝（1522-66 年在位）返回他的宫殿而写的，赞美得很华丽，语气也很正式;书法以严振清（709-785）和黄廷坚（1045-1105）的宏伟方式：皇主归来战车上的钟声平静了无数百灵鸟的歌声; 紫色的云朵，聚集在上方，庇护着强大的精华。战车和盔甲像璀璨的星座一样闪闪发光。在皇帝战车前的旗帜上，太阳和月亮闪耀着明亮的光芒。十里外，春风预示着皇家游行队伍的到来。四面八方都与圣帝的音乐和谐相处。在我晚年，我有机会亲眼目睹这个帝国游行的荣耀; 并愿以《诗经》中的"苏文"颂歌为榜样，赞美这个和平的统治。 "（施守谦译，载于《书法作为礼物：文承明（1470-1559）的书法与东吴文人文化的形成》，载刘玉炳等编，《中国书法中的性格与语境》[普林斯顿：普林斯顿大学美术馆，1999年]，第258页）
介绍（英）	From 1523 to 1527 Wen Zhengming served as an official in the capital, where his talents—as well as his patience—were put to the test by a flood of requests for literary compositions and calligraphy. This poem, written in celebration of the Jiaqing emperor's (r. 1522–66) return journey to his palace, is lavish in praise and formal in tone; the calligraphy is in the grand manner of Yan Zhenqing (709–785) and Huang Tingjian (1045–1105): The bell on the Imperial Lord's returning chariot calms the singingof myriad larks; Purplish clouds, gathering above, shelter the powerful essence. Chariots and armor glitter like brilliant constellations. On banners preceding the emperor's chariot, sun and moon shine brightly. For ten miles the spring wind heralds the approach of the imperial procession. All quarters are in harmony with the music of sage emperors. In my old age I have the chance to view personally the glory of this imperial procession; And wish to take the "Ssu wen" ode [in the Book of Poetry] as my example in praise of this peaceful reign.
